Ex-WWE writer on why Mustafa Ali is not being released

Former WWE writer Vince Russo believes Ali has not been granted his release because he disrespected Vince McMahon. The WWE Chairman is not troubled at the prospect of Ali joining WWE's main rival AEW.

"Bro, you know why, Page (DDP) knows why. Page might not say it, but I'll say it: They're going to eff with him. If he had a throwdown with Vince McMahon... you know I'm an honest guy - this is how the business works. If he had a throwdown with Vince and if there was any disrespect or anything like that, bro, we're not going to make it easy for you," said Russo.

Ali hasn't wrestled on TV since October, with his last match coming against Drew McIntyre on the Blue brand. He was drafted to SmackDown last year as part of the 2021 WWE Draft.
